12wk silkies gender

[lovemyjjbs]

Keep an eye on 2,3,6,7. They might get really nice crests.

3 definitely has my suspicion. Im crossing my fingers that the silver partiridges are pullets lol. My poor kid would be so upset lol

These are three cockerels I got out of a group of four silkies. The buff photo was taken around three ish months and he now looks very similar to the black one.

3&4 look like males. 2 Roos out of that many is great! I would keep them if you could so they can protect your girls

He is indeed. I have another white bearded silkie named Anxiety due to his frazzled appearance. I’ve considered renaming him Santa because of how big his beard is lol.

I know that silkies are the hardest to sex. These ones are 12wks old and I was just hoping someone could help me out with trying to determine cockerel or pullet. I have 8 total and have numbered the pictures. Im sorry they aren't the greatest.

4 def roo. 1 and 3 are a bit suspect

3 has a very prominent comb.

pictures of tail feathers will also help.

6 and 7 female. The rest look male.

Now that they've grown 4wks, #3 and #4 both crow. Im curious as to what you think about #2. No crow out of this one. But the crest is large. Ive included it in a picture with #4. It the one in the front that im having a hard time with
